Big-Food corporations sell processed junk that is killing you.
Did you know much of what they sell is BANNED in other countries?
Here are 12 foods you’re eating that are illegal in other countries you should probably avoid:
Coffee Mate, Pillsbury Biscuits, Ritz Crackers
Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Iceland, Norway, and Denmark have all banned these.
The reason is the trans-fat content, specifically the partially hydrogenated soybean and cottonseed oils, which are linked to heart disease.
Frosted Flakes, Wheat Thins
The UK, Japan, and parts of Europe have banned these cereals because of a chemical called BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene).
The flavor enhancer has been shown to produce liver, lung, thyroid, and kidney damage.
Skittles, Pop-Tarts, Gatorade
These sugary snacks are banned in the European Union because they contain dyes like yellow 5, yellow 6, and red 40.
The EU banned these artificial colors after research indicated they could be harmful to health, especially to young children.
Glyphosate exposure
Glyphosate is the active ingredient in "Round-Up". This popular herbicide is used abundantly throughout the U.S.
Agencies have allowed a 40 fold increase in the amount of glyphosate exposure allowed in the U.S. while it's remained more strict in Europe.
Why does this matter?
It destroys the good bacteria in your gut. And proper gut health is important to immune function, hormone control, nutrient absorption and so much more.
An unhealthy gut results in unhealthy individuals and minimizing glyphosate exposure is a start.

Every week my brother @chrisboettcher9 and I send a free email on:
• Nutrition
• Self-improvement
• Preventative health
In the past decade, I’ve played college basketball, treated 1000’s of patients, and helped over 100 men lose weight.
Here are the 21 most important things I’ve learned:
1) The Healthcare System doesn’t care about your health. They care about profits.
2) If you’re alive and breathing, you should be eating a high-protein diet. Protein isn’t just for bodybuilders.
3) Those with a strong community and support system go significantly further than those who try to do it all alone. You need a tribe.
4) Consistency will get you further than trying to optimize everything.
The guys committed to getting it right the majority of the time will get better results than the person doing "Whole 30" but never finding something sustainable.
